                            The University of Greenwich recognises the unique challenges faced by care leavers
                            when they enter higher education. So we offer you support from the application stage
                            right through to graduation and the search for employment. To maximise the chances
                            of care leavers progressing into higher education, we:</p>
                        <ul>
                            <li>Offer course-related support to care leavers on Level 3 programmes such as A-levels,
                                BTEC Nationals, and related qualifications such as GCSE maths and English that are
                                required as entry qualifications to university. Support is delivered by student
                                ambassadors on a one-to-one basis and at a time to suit both parties.</li>
                            <li>Advise and support care leavers through the UCAS process by providing help with
                                personal statements and finance issues and by liaising with colleagues at other
                                universities to help students to move into higher education.</li>
                            <li>Encourage care leavers to attend the range of outreach events that the university
                                holds, such as the Care Leaver Summer School and <a href="http://www2.gre.ac.uk/study/schoolsinfo/taster-days">
